La Spaziale Programmable Timer

I needed this because I start the day early and don't have much time before I leave for work. Pro: it does what it is supposed to do, but only that. Cons: $200 for a bit of plastic and a circuit board is ludicrous even for the espresso industry. Could have easily been built into the machine or had greater functionality. It is ugly and kind of awkward to place, so likely it will be tucked behind your machine hoping the wiring doesn't stick out. Not super easy to program but thankfully once it is set you probably won't need to fiddle with it much.

Programmable timer

This was easy to install and relatively simple to program. It turns the machine on and off in the morning and afternoon so I don’t have to wait for it to heat up.

Works great

Took a bit of time to figure out how to program it. Once i figured that out and it was programmed for one day I copied all other days easily. And it works great!
